We're hiring leadership scholars!

 

In this position, you will conceptualize, implement, and conduct innovative, multimethod studies (e.g., field surveys, lab and behavioral experiments, panel data) to investigate the effects of leaders’ behaviors on employee health, well-being, and performance, as well as exploring new forms of modern leadership (e.g., leadership duos, shared and part-time models) and how technology can facilitate diversity and leadership. You will have the opportunity to program and optimize experiments, analyze data, present findings at national and international conferences, and write scientific manuscripts. We are looking for someone who is comfortable presenting ideas to both scientific and non-scientific audiences and open to teach students, researchers, and/or executives.

We offer an experienced, international supervision team combining award-winning expertise in leadership research with business economics and psychology (Prof. Dr. Claudia Peus, Dr. Jamie Gloor). You will work in a collaborative environment in a truly interdisciplinary team that fosters an open-minded, participative, and friendly work atmosphere. Finally, we will facilitate your scientific creativity and independence, while supporting your scientific development, career goals, and professional network.

We also have 3 other open positions on leadership + social neuroscience or leadership + educational technologies, which you can find here.

A new year, a new...uni?!

University of Zurich --> Technical University of Munich, that is. 

I'm very excited to announce that I have just accepted a new post-doc position (from January 2017) at the Technical University of Munich (ranked #1 technical school in Germany, #4 in Europe). I'll be working for Dr. Claudia Peus, Professor of Research & Science Management, as leader of a project examining how gender, parenthood, and caregiving influence perceptions of leadership. The team has a history of publishing high-quality research on topics such as diversity and leadership, so I should fit right in (except for my Swiss German accent!)

I'm really looking forward to joining a new, research-focused team of kind, clever, and motivated young scholars-most of whom I've already met at international academic conferences-and the challenge of making the most of my 4-hour commute...
